Services

We’re not a general repair shop that also does transmissions. Transmissions and drivetrain are all we’ve done for over fifty years — which is why other shops send us their hard cases.
Free Performance Check
A no-charge, no-commitment check-up: fluid, road test, lift inspection and pan exam — so you know exactly where your transmission stands.

Not sure what’s wrong? Start free.
Most shops charge just to look. Every visit here starts with a free performance check — a real inspection, not a sales pitch. You leave knowing exactly what your transmission needs, and what it doesn’t.
If all it needs is a small adjustment, that’s what we’ll tell you. That honesty is why customers have kept coming back for fifty years.

“I recently had my transmission rebuilt at Dr. Nick's, and the experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the issue with my car. What stood out most was their honesty. They provided an estimate upfront and kept me updated throughout the process.”
“I would recommend this place to everyone I know that needs transmission service or work — the whole process was very smooth. Unlike some places, this shop doesn't try to siphon as much money out of you as they can. They are very honest.”
“Russ and Kevin are so helpful. We have a fleet of commercial vehicles that we count on for our business. Always responsive when needed for all our transmission related repairs. Wouldn't go anywhere else. 5 stars not enough.”
